10.0.46

Dynamics Update

Johan and Gustav brave the dark, rainy Swedish fall to discuss Dynamics 365 release 10.0.46, but the real headline isn't in the official notes. Johan shares exciting news from the MVP community: the first production Power Platform Admin Center environment has been deployed, marking a monumental milestone in the shift away from LCS. While limited to certain scenarios initially (no commerce yet, no massive implementations), it signals the beginning of the "one Dynamics, one platform" future.

Gustav tackles e-invoicing developments, noting Switzerland's new structured QR bill addresses and Poland's KSEF QR capabilities. The regulatory landscape across Europe keeps the Pride team scrambling, with different features arriving through different channels - some as standard features, others in quality updates.

Performance takes center stage with subscription billing optimizations that "reduce chattyness" in batch processing - a term Gustav finds amusing to see in official release notes. The hosts champion data entities, with Johan reminiscing about how DMF and OData revolutionized data integration 11 years ago. A new fixed assets transfer entity emerges in preview, while the grid functionality continues evolving with Excel-like capabilities.

The pricing management discussion reveals a significant development: calculating prices without creating sales orders. Gustav notes this helps customers avoid CSU licensing costs while maintaining unified pricing experiences, though he remains a CSU advocate. The conversation highlights the modern challenge - multiple valid approaches to solve the same problem, requiring careful architectural decisions.
